This past weekend we headed to the shore in Oregon. We rented a house with my parents, Jeff, Michelle & Natalie and Michelle's parents Jeff and Andrea in Seaside, OR. It was a nice, big house with plenty of space for 8 adults, 2 kids and a dog. We all had our own rooms and there was plenty of room at the table for us all to dine together. There was a hot tub (Natalie's favorite part) and the ocean was 4 short blocks away. I think it is safe to say that everyone had a fun time! Friday, once everyone got there, we took a stroll down to the beach so that Natalie could get in the water and so Sadie could stretch her legs after being couped up in the car for so long. Papa and Michelle graciously got wet for Natalie! (:
Saturday, after a yummy breakfast, we headed to Cannon Beach for the Sand Sculpture contest. We followed the signs for parking and walked out onto the beach...and then walked and walked and walked to get to the contest. Seth and I think we probably walked 1 1/2 miles each way!! The sculpture below was by far the most impressive. People parked themselves all along the perimeter of the area so unless you dropped your shoulder and ran, there was no way to get close to see anything. I stood on my toes and held my camera in the air...I think I got a decent shot! (:
After we hoofed it back to the cars (oh and some of us took a shift packing Miss Natalie) we headed back to the house for a little rest and rejuvination. Some of us napped, some read and some went in the Hot Tub. In Seaside there was a classic car and truck show all weekend. Seth and Jeff headed down to check out the Hot Rods and then to grab some suds at a local hangout. The rest of us joined them back on the street to watch the Hot Rods parade through town, showing off their moves and revving their LOUD engines. It was a lot of fun. Seth found his dream car...
Sunday we kicked around Seaside a bit more. Some went to check out more cars and Seth and I went to the outlet mall. Then we cleaned up and packed. We capped off our stay by "having" to eat ice cream since nobody could pack it home! (:
Happy Father's Day Dads!!
